G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face. Mystery Galleries may still be viewed on our History Page, http://www.semissourian.com/history/

Help us identify these sailors. The photo was likely taken at the Naval Reserve facility at the municipal airport. Jeff Osborne wrote: "I was going thru the paper and saw the photo of the sailors stationed at the reserve center. My dad, Don Osborne, was stationed out there for couple years. The one with his head down looks like him. He did 12 years active, was sent to Cape to recruit and help run the Reserve Center. He actually slept there for awhile during the Cuban missile crisis. He finished with 10 years reservist and a total of 22 years. He died in 2000."
